Honey Stacks
Drop stacks of number tiles into the honeycomb. When matching numbers touch, they stack up — and when they add up to the target, they turn into a jar of honey. Fill enough jars before the hive is full.
How to play
- Make jars of honey! Each day has a target number, like 12.
- Tap a stack in the tray, then tap an empty cell (or drag it there). Touching stacks with the same number on top slide those tiles together.
- Skip count as they pile up: 4, 8, 12… When a run of one number reaches the target (3 tiles of 4 make 12), it turns into honey. The number underneath shows up and can slide too!
- Fill every jar before the hive is full or the stacks run out. Undo as much as you like.
Four levels: pick your heat
-
Mild
Big numbers make honey fastest: with a target of 12, just 2 tiles of 6 fill a jar.

Spicy
Plan what’s underneath. When a top run slides away, the number below it can start a chain.

Extra Spicy
Waxed cells can’t hold stacks, so space is tight. Put matching numbers next to each other and think two moves ahead.
